Is it true, a doctor has a right to sit on their "high-horse"?

Question

I work in a "professional" medical establishment. For some odd reason doctors are self-branding themselves with the idea that those around them, not on a doctor status, should be treated as a peon. The last time I checked, what gave them that status was a piece of paper called a medical license, which can be revoked. I understand what sacrifises they may have made to fullfill their accomplishments, but does it give them a right to remain on their "high-horse?" They're human like the rest of us, and they should be treated as such. Should I make it my business to remind them that regardless of their achievements, what they do in life will not guarantee them a better seat to Heaven than the next person?

Answer 1

Yes please! Anyway, I thought the drug companies were the ones with the real power.

Answer 2

A doctor can do nothing without the nurses and technicians...they should check their attitude at the door.

Answer 3

NO, YOU SHOULD NOT MAKE IT YOUR BUSINESS TO "BRING THEM DOWN TO EARTH".

IF YOU DID THAT, YOU WOULD SHOW THAT YOU LACK UNDERSTANDING OF MEDICAL POLITICS. IT IS NOT UNCOMMON, FOR DOCTORS TO HAVE A "GOD COMPLEX" AND CONDESCEND TO THOSE THEY FEEL ARE "BENEATH" THEM.......

THE TRUTH IS, WITHOUT NURSES, PA'S, AND OTHER RELATED PROFESSIONS, WORKING AS A TEAM, DOCTORS WOULD NOT GET MUCH WORK.

THE BEST WAY TO DEAL WITH IT, IS TO 1-GO TO MED SCHOOL AND GET YOUR MD, 2-DECIDE TO ALLOW THEM TO FEEL SELF-RIGHTEOUS AND KNOW IN YOUR HEART THAT YOUR JOB IS NEEDED JUST AS MUCH, IF NOT MORE SO THEN THEIRS, OR 3-IF YOU FEEL REALLY CONDESCENDED TO, ASK "WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO EARN YOUR RESPECT?"

WHATEVER YOU DO, KEEP YOUR COMPOSURE OR YOU WILL MAKE YOURSELF A TARGET FOR THEIR CONTEMPT. DO NOT APPEAR TO BE BITTER BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DO WHAT THEY DID TO GET WHERE THEY ARE.

Only veterinarians.
